Kanye West published a series of tweets Friday in the American pop star’s latest pro-life rant online after revealing he considered aborting his daughter.<\/b>
\nKanye West published a series of tweets Friday criticizing contemporary culture\u2019s reaction to his own emotional response that played out publicly in recent weeks, discussing his own experiences with abortion. \u201cI cried at the thought of aborting my first born and everyone was so concerned about me\u2026 I\u2019m concerned for the world that feels you shouldn\u2019t cry about this subject,\u201d West tweeted Friday morning. The post was followed-up a few hours later pointing out the millions of black lives lost to the devastating procedure over the last five decades. \u201cOver 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years,\u201d West wrote. While abortion is a leading killer of black lives today, where West retrieved the 22,500,000 number is unknown. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control, abortion kills roughly 250,000 black children a year, multiplied out to 47 years since the Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade, and that equals about 11,750,000 black children lost to abortion annually, though abortion rates have declined in recent years. In another, West published a link to a New York Post story reporting on Planned Parenthood\u2019s decision to sever ties with its eugenicist founder Margaret Sanger. West\u2019s series of tweets come just weeks after a bizarre presidential kick-off rally in South Carolina where the singer spoke publicly for the first time about his family\u2019s decision not abort his daughter, which the American rapper had been at time advocating to his wife. \u201cI almost killed my daughter! I almost killed my daughter!\u201d West repeated through tears. \u201cI called my wife and she said, \u2018We\u2019re gonna have this baby.\u2019 I said we\u2019re gonna have this child\u2026 So even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world when I didn\u2019t want to. She stood up and she protected that child.\u201d According to People Magazine, Kim Kardashian is reportedly torn over divorcing West following a trip to Wyoming that came amid increasingly erratic behavior.<\/p>\n
